We contributed to several international and local Swedish association studies that identified SLE genes, exemplified by the identification of the TNIP1, PRDM1, JAZF1, UHRF1BP1, and IL10 genes (59) and the IKBKE and IL8 genes (60) as risk loci for SLE. The gene discussed is PRDM1; the disease is systemic lupus erythematosus.
